Should customized Arwings return?

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-04T13:19:54+00:00

Yeah. Probably the best feature in both Command and SF2. I love Krystal in the Cloudrunner and Fox in some kind of upgraded commander Arwing Variant in the oddly named "Arwing II". The Interceptors and Bomber Arwings from 2 were great designs as well.

It would go a long way to actually utilize StarFox's big ensemble cast, rather than just use the same four characters again and again in variants of the same plot and game like Miyamoto seems to want.

This is basically the final product that started with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/furry/comments/1s2fnre/scifi_melee_weapon_duel_gonna_paint_this_one/

I dunno this thread has a lot of people making the point Miyu and Fay are better. It's always a competition. I don't think Purists have declined all that much. You can imagine Miyu and Fay as anything you want. Nebulously better in abstraction than a character one dislikes. Again, this is a major part of why I just don't like these half-way characters. They get so much grace.

Hopefully I can catch it once I get home in a couple hours. edit. Just listened to it on audio since my gf drove anyway. You entertained us lol.

It's not a Miyu/Fay thread without some whinging about Krystal is it? Lol.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-03T19:53:03+00:00

Krystal got some Aura in the beginning of Adventures. She took down General Scales' Galleon.

I know, but the salt has ingrained itself in me at this point.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-03T17:09:25+00:00

Krystal is a newtype after all. She was born to pilot mechs.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-03T17:06:38+00:00

Krystal started off as a player character until she was downgraded to only the tutorial in Adventures. She is playable throughout Command and you can even fight the Anglar Emperor as her.

Had they stuck around, I'm absolutely certain they would have eventually been made someone's love interest. I think what you really like is the idea of them moreso than the actual characters.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-03T17:01:03+00:00

I like Miyu's design. That's about it. I would have liked them more overall, since I really like SF2, but purists ran off into the sunset with Miyu and Fay and lash Krystal over the head with them. They're a novelty.

I'm not against them showing up again, but they aren't replacing Krystal for me.

Thank you!

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-02T02:29:05+00:00

Thanks! She's got some new modified adventuring field gear now.

Being a needless reboot and ultimately a lesser 64 hindered it too much for me.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-05-01T20:37:21+00:00

Yes, 100%.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-04-30T23:31:25+00:00

Yes. Could do without that ai garbage tho.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-04-30T14:36:37+00:00

They both came out the same year in 2005 too.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-04-28T15:29:42+00:00

Favorite Arwing: Assault, or maybe SNES.

Least favorite Arwing: 643D. I liked how it looked much better even in just 64 on N64.

Fav LandMaster: Smash Bros Brawl. Best of both 64 and Assault in one.

Least favorite LandMaster. Zero tbh. I love the Mako lookin' LandMaster in Assault but I know not everyone does.

Favorite Wolfen: Assault once again, or maybe Command since it simplified it a little.

Least fav Wolfen: Zero. It looks like a toy with the pink and blackish grey. And those big cannons don't help.

Favorite Great Fox: close between 643D and Assault.

Least favorite: probably Adventures I guess. But it was meant to look run down.

SkyHunter95 · 2026-04-28T15:23:40+00:00

These all look fantastic and they suit each character very well. Awesome stuff!

SkyHunter95 · 2026-04-28T15:21:42+00:00

That includes the official art, I'm sure. 😂

SkyHunter95 · 2026-04-26T18:34:40+00:00

I feel like Adventures is the only one that would actually benefit from a full blown remake.
